The Problem: Gluten-free products are growing in awareness, but may not have any health benefits for people who do not suffer from Celiac Disease or a Gluten intolerance. Not only are gluten-free foods more expensive, but they lack fiber, vitamins, and minerals, according to Peter H.R. Green, MD, director of the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University. Healthy Alternative: Whole-wheat and whole-grain are your healthiest options.
